Ingredients

Veggie Burger:

Balsamic Onions:

Chipotle Aioli:

Assembly:

Directions

  1. For the veggie burger patties: Mix the lentils, rice, spinach, oats, roasted red peppers, poblano chile, salt, black pepper and cumin together in a large bowl. Once mixed, sprinkle in your gluten-free flour and mix thoroughly. Form 6 to 8 patties from this mix. Heat a skillet with a little oil over medium heat and sear in a hot pan until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. For the balsamic onions: Heat a pot up over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Add in the garlic, rosemary and thyme and sauté lightly to bloom the herbs and garlic. Add in your onions and salt, then toss the onions with the garlic herb mixture to fully coat. Cook down the onions until they start to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Once the onions are caramelized, add in the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Mix everything together in the pot and simmer until the liquid becomes a syrup consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  3. For the chipotle aioli: Blend the chipotle peppers in a blender until smooth. Add in the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and chipotle powder and mix until smooth.
  4. To assemble: On a bun, put a handful of arugula. Place a veggie patty on the arugula. Garnish the patty with balsamic onions, goat cheese and chipotle aioli. Place top bun on and enjoy!
